The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 422 Collapse
"Deep in the abyss, there is only a stone tablet that looks useless. I thought there would be some treasure waiting for me."

As Ying and her companions continued to go deeper, after walking in the dark and gloomy abyss for nearly six hours, they finally arrived at the deepest part of the abyss. However, looking at the huge wordless stone tablet in front of them that was emitting white light, Ying's tone of voice revealed disappointment that was hard to conceal.

She had originally thought that there would be some treasure or secret treasure in the depths of a forbidden area like the Chasm. After all, that's what it was written about in novels. But now she had finally reached the end, but there was nothing. Thinking of the various light novels she had read in other worlds before, Ying couldn't help but curl her lips. It turned out that novels were all lies.

"Traveler, you don't have to be so depressed. If there is something deep in this Layered Abyss, I will also need to hand it over to Qixing. After all, the interior of the Layered Abyss is too mysterious, and Qixing needs to understand it more deeply."

Seeing Ying's disappointment, Ye Lan checked the surrounding situation and talked to Ying for a few words. Listening to Ye Lan's words, which were not sure if they were meant to comfort her, Ying accepted the reality and sighed helplessly.

"Okay, Ye Lan, you do have a point, but this place is too ordinary. It doesn't have the grandeur or magic of the deepest part of the Stratum Abyss. It feels like a wasted trip. If there were no road ahead, this place would not look like the deepest part of the Stratum Abyss at all."

After hearing what Ying said, Yan Fei nodded in agreement. Due to her young age and the fact that Qixing sealed off the Layered Abyss a few years ago, Yan Fei had never been deep into the Layered Abyss. Most of her knowledge about the depths of the Layered Abyss came from the records in ancient books.

Before going deep into the Abyss, Yan Fei had imagined how magnificent the scenery would be in the depths of the Abyss. For this reason, she even brought a camera with her to record it. However, she did not expect that after seeing it with her own eyes, she felt that there was nothing special about it.

Hearing the conversation between Yan Fei and Ying, Shen He, who had been silent on the side, nodded in agreement. Shen He had heard her master, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, mention the place called Layered Rock Abyss. In her imagination, this place should be a place with all kinds of precious minerals crisscrossed. She didn't expect that when she saw it today, it would be so ordinary.

Looking around and seeing nothing special, Ye Lan was just about to say something when the stones under her feet suddenly began to shake. Yan Fei lost her balance and if Ying hadn't quickly helped her up, she would have probably fallen.

"Everyone be careful, this place may collapse soon, let's get out of here quickly!"

Having walked on the edge of danger for many years, Ye Lan shouted and asked everyone to leave quickly the moment she felt the stones under her feet shaking. After all, in this mysterious rock abyss, she could not guarantee that anyone could climb out safely if they fell in.

After a quick observation of the surroundings, Ye Lan flicked her hand, and several silk threads condensed from water elements were directly tied around the waists of Shen He and the others. Then, Ye Lan condensed a silk thread with her other hand and tied the other end of the thread to a large rock. She wanted to use this method to throw Ying and the others to a safe place first. After all, she had promised Master Liuyun Jiefeng that she would definitely protect Shen He.

"Wait, this suction is not good."

Ye Lan's idea was very good, but just when she was about to implement it, she unexpectedly discovered that the stones under everyone's feet actually produced a suction force, and this strong suction made her unable to move.

After a stalemate of more than ten seconds, seeing that more and more cracks appeared on the boulder under the feet of Yan Fei and the others, and that everyone was about to fall, Ye Lan had no choice but to speak calmly.

"Shen He, I remember that Master Liuyun Jiefeng once gave you some talismans and mechanisms for self-defense. If possible, you should leave here first."

After hearing Ye Lan's words, Shen He ignored Ye Lan. As Ye Lan's best friend and a friend of Ying and others, she couldn't abandon her companions and run away alone at this time.

"Oh no, it's going to collapse!" Paimon, who was sucked from mid-air to the ground by the suction force, saw that the stone was now covered with cracks. She couldn't help but scream in fear. Paimon, who had lost the ability to fly, had panic on her face that was visible to the naked eye.

"Paimon, protect yourself. If you really can't help, you can just grab Ying's hair. Ying's hair is so fine that it won't fall off."

As soon as Yan Fei finished speaking, the feeling of weightlessness and the downward suction force directly pulled Yan Fei down quickly. Shen He endured the discomfort of his body and pulled Ying, Ye Lan and Yan Fei to his side. Then she took out a talisman given to her by Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng for self-defense and quickly activated it. A fairy power protection shield quickly appeared around Shen He.

"Help!!!"

Just like that, accompanied by screams and a loud bang, Ying and the others successfully landed. However, the fairy power shield that protected them suddenly turned into starlight and disappeared beside Shen He.

"Is everyone okay?"

Shaking his dizzy head, Ye Lan, who was the first to recover, stood up and helped Shen He up from the ground. After checking and finding that Shen He was not injured, Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ahem, Yan Fei, you should lose weight..."

Feeling the weight on her back, Ying felt that her waist seemed to be unable to bear the burden. As a traveler who did not exercise much, Ying's physical strength must not be very high.

Hearing Ying's cry, Yan Fei hurriedly climbed up from Ying's body. The feeling of weightlessness just now made her very nervous, but she didn't know how, Ying landed on the ground before her and even acted as her cushion.

"Ying, are you okay?"

Yan Fei reached out and pulled Ying up from the ground and considerately helped Ying brush the dust off her body. Enjoying Yan Fei's service, Ying rubbed her waist, shook her head and said.

"I'm fine, but Paimon might be. By the way, where's Paimon?"

Speaking of Paimon, Ying suddenly remembered that Paimon seemed to have fallen down with them just now, which made Ying hurriedly look for him around. After all, Paimon was so small, and it would be terrible if he was really unlucky and fell into a rock.

After Ying and others searched for a while, Ye Lan successfully found Paimeng in the gap between two stones. However, unlike what everyone imagined, Paimeng was injured. There was a fairy defense array flowing around Paimeng's body in front of everyone. Seeing the defense array around Paimeng's body, Ying remembered that Ruo Jin seemed to have given Paimeng a jade pendant before they set off.
